*patiently waits for more posts*

The story can start and we can explore the world now.

I'm just waiting to see if my character is accepted.

Working on a post. Kinda working through a creative wall.

[Little Bird]

Not my best work. It is what it is though. Posted.

@TheNoCoKid
Has Eviledd's character been approved yet?

[RisingRobin]

@Eviledd1984Approved, but you need to get rid of any references of leaving the city. Since your character isn’t an Heir (or at least I can’t tell) then she doesn’t have the means (or reason) to leave. Only Heirs have the funds for it and it’s mainly to go to other cities.

@TheNoCoKid

Done and done boss.

[Eviledd1984]

Where would be a good place to introduce my character?

[RisingRobin]

@Eviledd1984 That’s up to you. I’m usually a pretty hands off DM unless there’s a major storyline I’m following.

@TheNoCoKid

Mmm fair enough. I am wondering if I should have Gretchen doing some jobs for Arasaka before perhaps running into the skate kids.

[Eviledd1984]

Hi so I'm writing up my post, but I am not sure if I should end it with her getting off the elevator to head towards the thing she is looking for. Or if I should end with her completing her mission and leaving the building and go back to Arasaka.

Just tagging this for the future.
Considering an older member of society

EDIT:
I feel like I should ask.
What is the technology for synthetic bodies looking like?
Are memetic viruses (for instance, a sequence of flashing lights which infects an optical modification) a thing?
Can one hack an implant to produce more mental strain/capacity than it would normally require (For instance, forcing it to run one billion instances of BonziBuddy)?
Aside from vehicles, what else is Geonet required for?

To answer the last question:

Despite the poor conditions of the cities, there is one luxury that makes life there tolerable: Geonet. An upgraded internet with lightning fast connection speeds and overseen by a powerful AI; all citizens are connected to Geonet and their GEO-IDs serve as a means of identification as well as keeping track of their personal information. Using their GEO-ID, citizens can readily keep track of their money, health records, and even access public transit. A GEO-ID is typically a small green disk that’s linked to a specialized armband, but it can be attached to different articles of clothing (i.e. glasses, earrings, rings, etc.) or it can be directly installed into a citizen’s cybernetics. Due to being DNA locked to an individual, stealing or masquerading another person’s GEO-ID is NEARLY impossible. Despite GEONET being one of - if not the only - useful thing in the Megacities, there are some who elect not to use it, preferring a life of freedom without the watchful eye of City-Security on your back.
